By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 17 July 2013

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Adam Buxton, The Invisible Dot, 23-24 Jul
Adam Buxton, aka Britain’s smartest geek, tests new (and less new) ideas, and previews all-new visuals in The Invisible Dot Ltd’s four visible walls. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S CABARET CHOICES
Stefan Bednarczyk, Crazy Coqs at Brasserie Zedel, 23-27 Jul
Super-duper suave cabaret smoothie Stefan Bednarczyk ‘does’ Noel Coward – that is to say, Coward’s very greatest hits, with added insights and loving exposes on The Master himself. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S OPERA CHOICES
I Gioielli della Madonna, Holland Park, 23 Jul – 2 Aug (pictured)
Opera Holland Park’s final open-air show of 2013 is Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari’s ‘blood-and-thunder melodrama’ circa 1911, a rarely-seen/heard tale in three acts packing a passionate punch and starring Swansea soprano Natalya Romaniw, Mexican tenor Joel Montero and leading Brit mezzo Diana Montague. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
Henry VI – Three Plays In A Day, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, 23 Jul – 8 Sep
The Globe casts a thrice-as-dramatic spell featuring Shakespeare’s most magical historical three-parter. Getting things (that’s ‘things’ as in the play’s central divisions between the warring dynasties of York and Lancaster) in gear is ‘Harry The Sixth’, after which the war wages on ‘The Houses Of York And Lancaster’ and climaxes in the series’ last third, ‘The True Tragedy Of The Duke Of York’. And FYI; since Shakey didn’t intend the plays to be a trilogy in the first place, it isn’t strictly necessary to have seen them all to appreciate them separately. Details and tickets here.
